If you weren't a pilot, what would you do?

Pumping outhouses always appealed to me...

Maybe you should try pumping Ethyl instead?

I had a great job with IBM until I became a pilot.
Knowing what I know now, I'd be in real estate.

Before the bubble bursts, right? Not that aviation is a safe place to be hiding.

Before I became a CFI, I drove tractor trailers to pay for my flying. The work was fun and I made a lot of money. I am unemployed right now thanks to ATP. I am trying to decide if I want to go back to driving to earn $20,000 to go to helicopter school, or just hold out and get another CFI job to complete my time building. As a truck driver you can make about $65,000 per year if you run 48 states. I want to be home every night so I will make about $40,000 per year.

WX man- because you dont have to be good at it. It might rain or it might not.

Or a full time stay at home DAD. Wish my wife made enough money. Nothing better than spending time with my son.

Maybe real estate if doesnt pop.

What kind of catered food do they have? Is it just sandwiches?

I would start a sex cult without a suicide clause. Gimme all your money.

If you're not too embarassed to fly a single engine turboprop, why don't you come join us at one of the feeders? Depending on where you live and what feeder operates in that area, there may be a freight run that you could live with until things get better in the 121 world.

I don't know what your 4,000 hours is comprised of, but I'm sure you meet the mins.
